He has lacked spark since his return, but in the currently heavily scripted world of WWE where deviation from the plan is a fatal sin and balls are constantly on the line, where politicians have their knives out waiting for any opportunity to pounce, it does not bode well for any wrestler to go beyond the words and actions written down on the page for them. Not neccessarily defending Jericho per se, but the whole roster bar the tippy top crew... they can only work with what they are given, and you can't polish a lump of shit.

Hit the nail on the head imo. Jericho was 'screwed' out of the WWE title, and yet in todays storyline terms of 100 rematches for screwed Wrestlers, he hasn't mentioned it since. He's IC champ and doesn't even defend the title. Not Jericho's fault that he's in the role of game show host and referee.

His match with MPV was good imo, his match with Punk wasn't. I can't understand why they didn't give Punk the win over Hardy before his suspension and Jericho the MITB.

I mean, have we ever had a Jericho/Taker feud? I don't recall it.

The writers are pretty much clueless, which is why I'm surprised that Regal even won KOTR.

Pretty random and fragmented thoughts, but its late.
